[Cube] Do the processor upgrade cards fix Firewire?

[Sean Ferguson]

Richard,
I tried both resets about a year ago with no luck. But your  
mentioning it prompted me to look up my "how to" notes since I have  
nothing to loose by trying again. Then I also saw a note that said to  
try "resetting the Open Firmware," which I do not remember trying.  
But since the note gave no coaching, I'll have to find some  
instructions first. ... ... Still, in case I try all these fixes  
again and nothing works, can a "layperson" buy just the firewire chip  
somewhere? Does CubeOwner or someplace else have the instructions  
posted on how to replace one?

Thanks,
Sean
